Flex Fuel Vehicles: Lower CO2 Emission Standards for Manufacturers

This act aims to reduce carbon dioxide emission requirements for car manufacturers producing flexible fuel vehicles (e.g., E85). This change could make it easier to introduce such cars to the market, potentially leading to a wider availability of more environmentally friendly vehicles and lower production costs. Citizens might benefit from a broader choice of vehicles that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Key points
Car manufacturers of flexible fuel vehicles (e.g., E85) will be able to report lower CO2 emission values for their vehicles, making it easier to meet standards.
The change aims to promote vehicles using fuels like E85, which studies show reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 31% compared to gasoline.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must implement these changes within 120 days of the act's enactment.
